Abstract

An iatrogenic femoral arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon but well-recognized complication that has followed diagnostic or interventional procedures. We report two cases of postcatheterization femoral AVF that were successfully treated with embolization using microcoils through a coaxial microcatheter. The fistulous tract of these patients could not be obliterated by ultrasound-guided compression.
